Of this series of Domestic Remedies in that
eai-li particular medicine is a Specific forlhe
particular disease nr class of diseases ivhnse
name it hoars, ami may be rolietl upon for
the cute ol that particular affection. Hence,
persons suffering from a chronic disease or
long standing ailment, in buying a case of
Humphreys' Specifies, obtain the particular
one desired in their case, and thus them
selves make a cure which otherwise would
cost them many dollars, and no small a
mount of time and medical attendance, if,
indeed, it cool I be obtained at all.
Thus multitudes suffer Irnm Dirpepsia,
Billions, Cosiiveness, Bad I'aste, Coated
Tongue, and Debility, which is perleclly
controlled and cured by the
DYSPEPSIA SPECIFIC.
There is scarcely a pltasp or lorm of ibis
tlisea-e which is rid promptly co'trolled and
ultimately cured by ihu rise ol this Specific.
Thousands who have suffered fur years with
this''Billions Condition" having purchased
a case of these Specifics have oDtttined a
perfect cure and immunity Irom their old
complaint.
COCCUS, COEDS, AND SORE THROAT
\vh 10*11 so Ireipienl}' lead to
BRONCHI I IS AND CONSUMPTION,
are all in their early stage cured by the
COUGH PILES.
Matty casps of long standing Bronchitis and
irritating Coughs have been perleclly cured
by this Specific. But more I many persons
have a specific liability to colds and take
litem from the least exposure. This will be
entirely relieved by the use of the Cotigli
Pills, as score* cart le-tify from experience :
So CATARRH is one of our trtn-i common
and mnsi troublesome diseases,against which
the Old School Medicines and even Ho
rnm ipathic presi'.rip'ions, are of little use.—
Yet hundreds cf persons have been cured of
not only recent aad fresit, but even long
standing and obstinate cases of Catarrh by
the use ol litis Specific.
One aged lady itt Syracuse was thus per
fectly cured of a Catarrh, which had annied
her all her life. Ami a young la.ly at one of
our first class boarding schools, who was so
afflicted with this disease its to requite more
than forty handkerchiefs a week, was en
tirely cured ill"a single week by litis Speci
fic. PILES,
bleeding and blind, is one of those common
and obstinate forma ol disease which are
so difficult to cure by the ordinary method',
but which find an entire fundamental cure
in lite Piles Specifie. Trite, time is requir.
Ed ; but the Specific is pleasant to take, re
quires neither diet nor restraint, and being
billowed up a perfect cure is the result
Hundreds of persons, in purchasing a cure
ol Specifies, have obtiined a cure for this
most trying and tibstma'e lorm of disease,
which has been worth to them ten times the
cost of the entire set.
The case contains the best
FEVER AND AGUE SPECIEIC
known. A remedy without any deterions
or poisonous substance, which not only
cures the ague, and old, mismanaged ague*,
but may be relied upon as a preventive when
persons are residing in a later and ague
district. It prevents or protects upon the
same principle that vaccination prevents
small pox ur hellaitoniio prevents scarlet te
le ver, by pre-occup) ing the system with tlie
true specific. Hundreds have been thus
protracted ai d cured.
THE OPHTHALMY SPECIFIC
has prone.il a most valuable re mil y lor Sore
Eyes and Eteiids, and for Weak arid Blur
red Sight. One lady in Indiana, who had
tieen a sufferer front sore eye- for many
years, ami lurtwo tears tvss entirely blind,
was cured perfectly by lite Ophllialiny Spe
cific alone.
HEADACHES
to which so many are subject, find a cura
tive in the ca-e. There is a specific which
relieves at the lime ol ttie attack, and also
one which corrects the condition ol the sys
tem upon which it depends, and destroys
the di-posiiion to a return.
The Specifics lor the various forms of
FEMALE COM FEINTS
have proved invaluable. Old Standing Ee
ucorrl.tca or Whiles, attended with debility
uf exhaustion, and lor which other forms ot
medicine are ot little value, ate lit 11 y con
trolled and cured by Hie Female Pills ; while
trie specific for Irregularities control almost
every lorm ol Scanty, Paiulul or Irregular
Menstruation.
DIARRHOEAS & SUMMER COM I'LI NTS
in adults or childien are controlled like ma
gic by lite Diarilraa Pills, w liiie it may tie
averred without the possibility ol successful
contradiction that me Dyseritury Pills are the |
most perfect specific tor thai disease known.
For the vanou* forms of
FEVERS, SCA RLE 1 FEVER, M EASI.ES, I
and other diseases ol children, the Fever!
Pills may be salcly and surely relied upon.
These Specifics of Prof. Humphreys, used
for years in Ins extensive piaclice,aitd to the
perfection of which lie has devoted the re
sources ol extensive knowledge, experience
and study.
The public may rest assured that during
the lifetime of Dr. H., no nne lias been or
shall be trusted with the prepare ion ol his
Specifics, and lie uffrtt the giiaiatiiy of his
professional file at.d reputations that they
stiatl be 3u*t as he represents litem.
Tliey have now been before the pub

Simple, Iree from intricacy, technicality,
or danger, they have become the ready re

without having been approved, and their
highest appreciation is among those who

Every Family will find these Specifics all

DANIEL BRIBER, Adtnr.
Roarittgcreak. June 1, 1859.
ScrofUla, or King's Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, yhe depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, if is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending parents to children
unto the third and fourth generationindeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so tliat scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatnl by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, olid in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
AYER'S
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active rcmcdials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the hlood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but ulso those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIVB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTONY'S FIRB,
ROSE, or ERYSIPELAS, PIMPLES, PUSTULES,
BLOTCHES, BLAINS and BOILS, TUMORS, TETTER
and SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, RINGWORM,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC and MERCURIAL DIS
EASES, DROPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALE COMPLAINTS ARISINO PROM VITIA
TED OR IMPURE BI.OOD. The popular belief
in " impurity of the blood " is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of tliis Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
Ayer's Cathartic Fills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIO,
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
Eain or physical debility is astonished to find his
e&lth or energy restored by a remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costive
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid
Inaction of the Botce/s, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice . and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
FOIL THE BAFID CULLE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous are the enses of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too upparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, trie
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on tne afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced euros too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
